| = Most Recent Announcement= I would just like to announce that I making the Quadcopter a weekly (maybe twice a week) project that will probably last the whole semester. | = Most Recent Announcement = . Meeting times will be on Wednesdays from 6:30 pm to 8:30 pm and on Saturdays from 11 am to 1 pm. Both meetings will be held in the physics garage room. The stuff that I need help with: * Choosing an appropriate design that will carry a RaspberryPi, an Ardiuno , and the wires that will connect the circuitry. |

The stuff that I need help with: 1- Choosing an appropriate design that will carry a RaspberryPi, an Ardiuno , and the wires that will connect the circuitry. 2- Determining what sensors and equipment the quadcopter will need and programming them. 3- Making\programming the quadcopter to be stable and can stay level in the air when need be. 4- Making a decent User Interface. 5- Making a good control scheme for phones and pads. 6- Building a simple AI that adjusts the quad copter angle so it becomes stable if thrown. 7- Sending video feedback to the control device if it can receive it(desktop,laptop,phones,ipads,etc...) 8- Adding cool features to the quadcopter (such as lasers and nurf guns, GPS, person tracking, a small robotic arm, etc....) 9- Adding anything you can think of that can be added to make the quadcopter more awesome. |

Ahmed, will your homegrown copter fly this Saturday?
Resource information at Drones project! - duncan
No, This Saturday (9/14) we will build the frame of the quadcopter then for each subsequent week adding components until we get a full grown quadcopter with whatever add-on we can. -Ahmed
